STALONETRAY(1) User Commands STALONETRAY(1)NAMEstalonetray - stand-alone system tray (notification area)
implementation. This document covers 0.8 version of stalonetray.
SYNOPSISstalonetray [option...]
DESCRIPTION
Stalonetray is a stand-alone system tray (notification area) for X
Window System/X11 (e.g. XOrg or XFree86). It has minimal build and
run-time dependencies: an X11 lib only. Complete XEMBED support is
under development. Stalonetray works with virtually any EWMH-compliant
window manager.
The behaviour and the look of stalonetray can be configured either via
command line options or via configuration file. As usual, command-line
options have precedence over options that are specified in the
configuration file.
Names of command line parameter may have two variants: short (-o) and
long (--option). Write -ovalue or -ovalue to pass a value using the
short name of a parameter; to pass a value using a long name, write
--optionvalue or --option=value. All flag-like parameters have optional
boolean value that when ommited is assumed to be "true". Write "true",
"yes", "1", for positive boolean values, and "false", "no", "0" for
negative ones.
Default configuration file is $HOME/.stalonetrayrc. A configuration
file contains case-insensetive keyword-argument pairs, one per line.
Lines starting with '#' and empty lines are ignored. Alternatively,
confiuration file can specified via -c or --config command-line
options.
Below is the list of possible command line/configuration file options.
Options starting with hyphens are command-line parameters others are
configuration file keywords. Options that are new in 0.8 version are
marked with "NEW in 0.8".
OPTIONS-bg color, --background color, background color
Use color for tray`s background. color can be specified as an HTML
hex triplet or as a name from rgb.txt (note that '#' must be
quoted). Default value: #777777.
-c filename, --config filename
Read configuration from filename instead of default
$HOME/.stalonetrayrc.
-d decspec, --decorations decspec, decorations decspec
Specify visiblie tray window decorations. Possible values for
decspec are: all, title, border, none (default).
-display display, display display
Use X display display.
--dockapp-mode [mode], dockapp_mode [mode]
Set dockapp mode, which can be either simple for e.g. OpenBox,
wmaker for WindowMaker, or none (default).
-f [level], --fuzzy-edges [level], fuzzy_edges [level]
Enable fuzzy edges of tray window and set fuzziness level which can
range from 0 (disabled, default) to 3. When ommited, the value of
level defaults to 2.
--geometry geometry_spec, geometry geometry_spec
Set tray`s initial geometry to geometry_spec, specified in standard
X notation: widthxheight[+x[+y]], where width and height are
specified in icon slot multiples. Default value: 1x1+0-0.
--grow-gravity gravity, grow_gravity gravity
Specify icon positioning gravity (eigher N, S, W, E, NW, NE, SW,
SE). Grow gravity specifies directions in which the tray's window
may grow. For instance, if you specify NW the tray's window will
grow down vertically and to the right horizontally (these are sides
that are opposite to upper-left or North-West corner of the
window); with W the tray's window will grow horizontally to the
left side only, and it will vertically grow both upwards and
downwards maintaining position of its center. Please note that the
latter behaviour is new in 0.8. Default value: NW.
--icon-gravity gravity, icon_gravity gravity
Specify icon positioning gravity (either NW, NE, SW, SE). If you
specify, e.g SW, then icons will appear starting from the
lower-left corner of the tray's window. Default value: NW.
-i n, --icon-size n, icon_size n
Set default icon size to n. Default value: 24. Minimum: 16.
-h, --help
Show help message.
--log-level level, log_level level
Set the amount of info to be output by stalonetray. Possible values
for level: err (default), info, and trace. For the trace option to
be available, stalonetray must be configured with --enable-debug at
build-time.
--kludges kludge [,kludge...]
Enable specific kludges to work around non-conforming WMs and/or
stalonetray bugs. Argument is a comma-separated list of:
· fix_window_pos — fix tray window position on erroneous moves by
WM
· force_icons_size — ignore resize events on all icons; force
their size to be equal to icon_size
· use_icons_hints — use icon window hints to determine icon size
--max-geometry geometry_spec, max_geometry geometry_spec
Set tray`s maximal geometry to geometry_spec Default value: 0x0, no
limit.
--no-shrink, no_shrink [bool]
Do not shrink tray window back after icon removal. Useful when tray
is swallowed by another window like FvwmButtons. Default value:
false.
-p, --parent-bg, parent_bg [bool]
Use the parent's window as a background of the tray's window.
Default value: false.
--pixmap-bg path_to_xpm, pixmap_bg path_to_xpm
Use the pixmap from an XPM file specified by path_to_xpm for the
tray`s window background (pixmap will be tiled to fill the entire
window).
-r name, --remote-click-icon name
Remote control/click. When this option is specified, stalonetray
sends a fake click to the icon with a window named name and exits.
The icon is searched for in the currently active tray for the
current screen. By default, stalonetray sends a single click with
the 1st mouse button to the center of the icon. See the options
below for additional information on how to alter the defaults.
--remote-click-button n
Sets the remote click's button number to n (in the X11 numbering
order).
--remote-click-position xxy
Sets the remote click's position.
--remote-click-type type
Sets the remote click's type. Possible values: single and double.
-s n, --slot-size n, slot_size n
Set grid slot size to n, which cannot be less then icon_size. By
default, the slot size is the same as the icon size.
--scrollbars mode, scrollbars mode
Set scrollbar mode. Possible values: vertical, horizontal, all, or
none (default). Scrollbars appear as additional space at tray
borders that can be clicked to scroll icon area. Mouse wheel also
works.
--scrollbars-highlight mode, scrollbars_highlight mode
Set scrollbars highlight mode. Possible values: a color spec, or
disable.
--scrollbars-size n, scrollbars_size n
Set scrollbar size to n pixels. By default, the size is 1/4 of
slot_size.
--scrollbars-step n, scrollbars_step n
Set scrollbar step to n pixels. Default is 1/2 of slot_size.
--skip-taskbar, skip_taskbar [bool]
